How does a vCard QR code work when scanned by a smartphone?

When someone points their iPhone or Android camera at your vCard QR code, the camera app recognizes the standard vCard 3.0 format and pops up an "Add to Contacts" prompt. All your details—name, phone number, email, company, title, and website—are pre-filled into their contact book in one tap.

Is vCard 3.0 compatible with both Apple iOS and Google Android?

Yes. vCard 3.0 is the international open standard (RFC 2426) natively supported by Apple iOS Contacts, Google Contacts, Samsung Contacts, and Microsoft Outlook.

Can I put this QR code on my printed paper business card?

Yes! Print designers recommend placing a 0.8-inch (20mm) or larger QR code on the back of your business card. Always download the vector SVG version to ensure crisp, razor-sharp edges at commercial print resolutions (300+ DPI).

Does this vCard QR code expire or require a monthly subscription?

No. DailyUtils generates static vCard QR codes where the contact information is embedded directly into the matrix pattern itself. There are no intermediate redirect URLs, no hosting servers, no subscriptions, and the code never expires.

Is my personal contact information uploaded or stored anywhere?

No. DailyUtils processes all contact fields locally within your browser using JavaScript. No personal details, names, phone numbers, or email addresses are sent to any remote server.

Why vCard QR Codes Outperform Traditional Business Cards

Over 88% of paper business cards handed out at networking events are lost or thrown away within a week. Here is why adding a vCard QR code transforms your connections:

Direct Contact Book Insertion

Prospects don't need to manually type your phone number or spell your name. A quick camera scan opens their native contacts application with your details pre-populated.

Zero Hosting Dependency

Unlike proprietary "smart card" apps that charge monthly subscriptions and stop working when their servers go down, our vCard QR codes store the contact data directly inside the matrix.

Print-Ready Vector SVG

Download your vCard code as vector SVG to hand over to your graphic designer or print shop for crisp, non-pixelated business card embossing.

Confidential & Private

Your email address, phone number, and company information are processed locally in your browser. Nothing is stored in a database or harvested by advertising trackers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a vCard QR code work when scanned?

Smartphone cameras natively recognize the vCard standard and show a banner asking to "Add to Contacts". Tapping it immediately opens the contact saving screen.

Is vCard 3.0 compatible with both iPhone and Android?

Yes. vCard 3.0 is universally supported across iOS (Apple Contacts), Android (Google Contacts), macOS, and Windows.

Does this QR code ever expire?

No. The code is static and contains your contact payload directly. It will scan and work forever without any recurring fee or server dependency.

What size should I print the vCard QR code?

We recommend a minimum size of 0.8 × 0.8 inches (20 × 20 mm) on business cards to allow phone cameras to focus easily on the detailed contact matrix.

Are my personal contact details stored on your server?

Never. DailyUtils is an entirely client-side privacy tool. All encoding runs locally in your web browser.
